If the performance of NFS is worrying you, then why use it? Perhaps an alternate solution would be just as flexible and not have the performance hit of NFS. I would consider using a central Template repository and syncing it with your app servers using rsync. Everytime you make a change to a template, you run a script that rsync's all the templates to your app servers. This way files are all stored locally on each app server, and file stamps are only changed when the template is changed. It does require one extra step to activate your changes, but that is not really a bad thing in my opinion when dealing with production servers (and using a touchfile would require an extra step as well).
